Carmageddon: Reincarnation Hitting Steam Early Access In March

Stainless Games has announced that the long wait for a Carmageddon sequel is almost over. Carmageddon: Reincarnation will be available on Steam Early Access near the end of March.

“It’s brilliant to see our demonic baby rise screaming from the grave,” said Patrick Buckland, co-founder and CEO of Stainless Games, “This time we could finally do the stuff that we wanted to do 17 years ago. More blood was the main thing. Rivers of livers – that’s what we wanted. Being publisher as well as developer means we get to be stupid. Properly, professionally stupid. And this game is stupider than Jupiter. I mean really silly – but in a good way. Nobody else makes games that make you cry with laughter – but we do. And did I mention the livers?"

Players will be able to check out the game, currently in a pre-alpha stage, on March 27.

Our TakeCarmageddon: Reincarnation is another game that was made possible in part because of Kickstarter. This has to be especially satisfying news for people who supported the project in its early days.

I'm curious to see if the notoriety and controversy of the franchise is still intact or if it has abated over the years in the wake of way more shocking games. After all, driving over people was the big deal for this at one one time--and standard procedure of any number of games made now.
